Jason Taylor
Filmmaker and Photographer
"After ten years of working as a photographer and film maker in what is fashionably known as ‘development’, I have finally come to the realisation that much of what I was involved in was little more than managed poverty. I started to realise that I was becoming a part of that system and as I looked around me and interacted with media, development, photographers and filmmakers, began to understand that it is an industry like any other. I began to question the work I was doing and the absolute disconnect between those who commissioned me and those I was there to document."
